A Dainty Dresden....

Been working on a project...that includes some of my favorite things...including a Dresden...

The blades are very petite...and the entire plate only measures about 6 inches in diameter...

 

The center is hand appliqued as well as the entire plate...onto this fun spotted scalloped background piece.... Love Dresdens!!!
Yesterday was a very busy day...daughter #3....Mary McNeil and I went to Broad Street Presbyterian church to take pictures of their Tiffany stained glass windows...I did a little reading on the subject and the church so I knew these would be impressive panels....Oh my goodness!!!  They are incredible! I was amazed at the color and brilliance of the glass.  Just amazing!!!



Back to work!!!

  4. Your dresden plate is so charming, very very sweet. The church stained glass is Beautiful beyond belief, I think some of the most beautiful architecture in this country is in our churches. Thanks for sharing,
